Amethyst's first fusions
Chapter 2: A Time before Steven.
Steven sat down next to Amethyst as she began to tell her story excited to learn more about his mother and fusion.
"In a time before Steven" said Amethyst teasing him and ruffling his hair.
"Flashback"
The Crystal Temple was built into the cliff base the statue hasn't been erected yet and there was nothing but forest behind the cliff and for thousands upon thousands of miles the only sign that an intelligent species besides Gems existed on planet Earth were Native American settlements scattered about tribes doing what they do to survive.
Rose's door opened all the Gems walked out of it Pearl was wearing a dress with several Feather like things jutting from her sleeves and a large almost Tu-tu like skirt her Dress was faded sky bluish and the edges and skirt were white and her hair had a tuff coming out the front. Garnet had her outfit with a mixed look of both her components Left leg Red, Right leg Blue and reversed with her arms and her body she was as stoic and serious as usual always looking to the future to help the team. Amethyst had the Unkempt hair that was really long and was split at the end and disorganized and unruly her pants had tears and she had a dress on that covered her completely and had a round cut out highlighting her Gem partly inspired by rose. Rose Quartz stood there with her silky white dress and star shaped cut out at her Gem the same dress she has always chosen to have her Pink curly hair was almost as big as the 8 foot gentle giant herself.
Pearl looked Elegant in her stance as if she was too perfect for this world.
Garnet stood there, arms crossed, lost in the future.
Amethyst stood next to Rose and rarely leaves her side she's almost clingy Rose is the only person she trusts and is comfortable with after all she saved her from a life of who knows what in the Kindergarten.
"Isn't it wonderful?" asked Rose admiring the beauty of the Earth like she always has.
"Hmm?" replied Pearl confused before realizing she meant the planet.
"Ah, Yes the planet is very beautiful" said Pearl as they stared into the coast line and seagulls flying around catching fish and eating small fish and the beautiful blue sky and untouched waters.
"Dunno," said Amethyst quietly. "Never been to any other planets".
"That's quite all right those planets aren't very beautiful after we colonized them…" said Rose trying to make her feel better.
"We'll find the Monster in the Geode hub." Said Garnet returning to reality.
"Good Job" said Rose with a smile before they got on to the warp pad and warped to the location the sky was dark and cloudy as if a thunder storm has arisen.
A large very light green Jelly fish like Monster with hands at the end of it's tentacles was sitting on top of the Uncracked Geode sitting in a crater it has a gem of lightning bolt shaped Lechatelierite on the bottom of its bell possibly on its "chest" like Amethyst.
They went to the top of the cliff of the crater walls.
Whenever Rose saw a monster she didn't see it as a beast but rather a tortured Gem in need of help.
She wondered who this Gem used to be.
The Gems summoned their Weapons Amethyst wasn't one hundred percent confident she could fight it but Rose inspires her to try.
Rose looked at thing wondering what it might be feeling and what drove it to this.
Pearl chucked a spear at it and it slapped it away.
Pearl looked shocked frozen in the throwing position no enemy has ever done that.
Amethyst gave it a try tying her whip around a tentacle.
The monster's Gem glowed and the tentacle had a surge of electricity go through it and into the whip till it reached Amethyst surging through her and causing a small explosion which sent her flying.
"Amethyst!" screamed Rose catching her.
Amethyst's hair was frizzier than usual and she literally smoked.
Amethyst groaned in pain but it was nothing dangerous she was a Gem after all.
Tears fell from Rose's eyes as she hugged her they were her tears of healing that restored her back to normal in an instant.
Garnet saw this and cracked her knuckles charging at the monster with her gauntlets.
The monster shot lightning bolts at her but she deflected them with her gauntlets.
It shot its hand tentacles at her and she punches them all.
Garnet was about to punch it hard before suddenly it gained electricity from a massive bolt of lightning causing a bright flash of light.
Even behind her shades Garnet was blinded before seeing the Monster was supercharged with electricity and shot a massive bolt at her accompanied by a Thunderous clap as she went flying into the ground behind them all.
"Garnet!" screamed Rose just as loud.
"Rose." Said Amethyst weakly.
Rose looked down worried.
"This is so dumb…" said Amethyst.
Rose smiled at her.
Garnet got up from it relatively fine though there were some cracks in her shades and tears in her sleeves.
"I'm fine…This Corrupted Gem is a lot stronger than the others" she said in her usual stoic demeanor.
"What do we do?" asked Pearl.
"Stay here." Ordered Rose putting Amethyst down.
The gems looked at her curiously as she stepped closer and closer to the electric beast.
"Pearl, My sword." She said solemnly.
"Huh, oh yes right" said Pearl as she did the routine dance and the sword materialized out of her Gem she was entrusted to carry it after it's scabbard went missing.
Pearl walked towards her and handed it to her.
"Please, make this easy, we just want to help you." Rose said kindly to the beast that made a loud shriek.
The beast stopped as if it thought…but something is making it angry as if it had some kind of grudge or horrible experience in its past.
The beast used a supercharged tentacle-hand to grab rose but she sliced it in two with her sword.
The creature made a loud shriek as a bolt of lightning and thunder roared in the background.
The monster's gem glowed again and it put the hands of two of its tentacles in a circle before firing a massive bolt of Lightning.
Rose Gasped she knew that if it hit her it would go through her and hurt the others.
Her gem glowed and she summoned her shield, which absorbed and ricocheted the bolt of lightning into the clouds and she stepped forward slowly absorbing the force of the constant stream.
The monster rose itself up high absorbing lightning bolts from the storm above and energy from the Artificial storm in the geode making its lightning stronger.
Rose kept going forward but the lightning was too strong and began to push her back.
The monster put all its might into it.
The shield began to crack.
Rose gasped.
"BOOM!" A Thunderous explosion kicked dirt everywhere and Rose flew and crashed into the ground 20 feet away.
The Gems rushed to her aid.
"Rose are you alright?!" said Pearl.
Amethyst ran as fast as she could and even down the little crater rose was lying in on her back.
"You ok?" Asked Amethyst.
"Are you ok?" replied Rose warmly opening her eyes getting up from the center of the crater she was a very powerful gem that wasn't going to be defeated by such an attack.
Amethyst smiled with joy and the other gems were relieved as well.
"We cant take on this Enemy as we are, we have to use the last resort." Said Rose reactivating her leadership skills that she once used to command an Army of Crystal Gems.
"Fusion?" said Pearl, "Excellent Idea we can fuse and destroy it or you and Garnet ca-" said Pearl before being interrupted.
"Why don't you try fusing with Amethyst." Rose said with a smile directed to Amethyst.
"The Kindergartener!" thought Pearl so loudly she almost said it.
"Well, um you see? Shes…" Pearl didn't know how to say this to spare Amethyst's feeling but she had to say it," We don't even know if she can do this! She's a Kindergarten gem! We don't even know if she can do all that we can do!" Blurted Pearl.
Amethyst was heartbroken.
"Pearl!" said Rose angrily before calming down, "Of course she can…she's a gem." Rose got on her knees to get on her level with her small size which reminded her of two very short gems she knew.
Amethyst was teary eyed and downcast.
Pearl felt guilty and surprised not many things can set rose off and she felt bad for what she said.
"Amethyst…" said Rose lifting her chin, "I believe in you, I know in my heart that you can do this…" she said looking into her eyes.
Amethyst felt motivated, she wiped the tears out of her eyes and nodded.
The beast was charging its energy in order to make sure there were no interruptions Rose incased the area in a big bubble that went up to the geode crater 20 feet away.
Pearl got into position to preform the Fusion dance and Amethyst got into it as well though there was something she dint realize she didn't know how to dance.
"Amethyst I- " said Pearl trying to make up for what she said.
"It doesn't matter" said Amethyst through her teeth, "let's get it over with".
Pearl didn't feel any better but she knew she had to do the dance.
Tensions rose, will Pearl and Amethyst get along? How will the dance go? Find out next chapter.
